BoxRec

since before xmas i have been getting my mag 4-5 days late, and same this week, not here yet, anyone else having this problem?

I never got a boxing news last week and this weeks copy hasnt arrived yet either. That is five consecutive weeks were my BN magazine has been late by at least a week. I am going to give it until the end of the month to see if the distribution improves, it is a good job there have been no fights on the past month as I would have definitely cancelled it by now.

I got last weeks one this week - a day after I should have got this weeks one (Friday). Still no sign of this weeks.

Mine late too.

Hopefully be back up to speed next week again, as before snow it was reliably delivered.

I got the 6 January edition yesterday, which is when it usually arrives, so I'm happy with that.
BUT, I'm still waiting for the Christmas issue.
I'll be on the phone to BN on Monday.

BTW, I think the xmas issue was the last one for 2010.
They do 50 a year, but a double at xmas and Easter.

Just to put things into context, a copy of Private Eye was sent to me on December 17th and I only got it a few days ago.

Royal Mail are utter w**k.

I got the Xmas one a day late, surprisingly, but the latest one arrived a day late again. I rang them up and gave the poor bird a right earful, I was a bit rude and felt bad about it after. It has happened more often than not though.

What the feck are you moaning at BN for. It's royal mail who have the back log.

Exactly. Give these feckless mail-carriers a week or two more to sort themselves out as we are at their mercy (like you are). We are giving them a verbal shellacking but they say they have a huge backlog. On our side, we have been putting the digital issue online for subscribers – I know it's not the same but aside from personally hand-delivering each and every issue myself (a Boris bike only goes so far) that's the best I got.

Its only the xmas issue right now. Pm me ur subs details and il hook u up

Still not here. Hardly new now is it?

Finally got the xmas issue yesterday, som now I'm finally back on track

got mine today should of got it last friday never got xmas one

Just got the Christmas issue, waiting on last weeks and not holding out much hope for this weeks

They should get themselves on Amazon so I can have a digital version sent automatically to my Kindle.

Exactly the same late for the last 4-5 weeks. Really frustrating when the mag arrives with build up to a fight and it has already been fought.

Pm me ur details for xmas issue. We have spoken to Royal Mail today and they may be putting out an apology regarding these problems. Anyone who has missed an issue, email me at [email protected] and il do what I can.

Colemanballs!

Sending me nuts too!! It's annoying it really is, don't mind a day out but it's been weeks and ain't even had some!! That's the frustrating bit! My mate works for royal mail and said they have a pile the size of a football field the cheeky f*****s!! There just not arsed about anybodys mail!! :(

Ridiculous situation. I subscribe and got last Thursday's issue through the post today, so little chance of rtoday's issue turning up for a while.

Boxing News my Arse!

You can tell from Tony's comment, Boxing Chat (or whatever your name is this week), that Royal Mail are clearly at fault here. Why don't you ring us BC (sure you have our number) and we'll make sure you get a copy?

Must say that mine has been turning up on time during this period, no problems at all. I'm in London, could it be down to postal areas? Whatever, this looks like a postal service problem rather than a BN problem — mine wouldn't have been arriving on time if BN weren't sending it out on time.
